Just had a taste of the mead i made months ago, and I must say I am impressed. It's only just cleared and the orange hasn't dropped yet, but its so sweet and delicious. It's also very alcoholic, I'd almost compare it to a spirit. Over all I'm quite happy with the results. Thanks for the recipe...

I was going to add the juice of a lemon also, but I was unsure of what was in the kit already so I played it safe. But you are exactly right.

So I have 20 L of Coopers GB brewing as of 1 hour ago.. I used 1kg of dextrose and also added 500ml of buderim GB cordial, was reading a forum post of people doing this, but I am still unsure.. Will this be a failure? This is my first Kit brew of anything ever. Cheers guys, Nick

its brisbane temp.. I was told that its too cold to brew most beers.. just in a hard time atm so im at dads for a few months.. his fridges.. i just wanting to use one without modifying it

Ah, excellent. Is there anything I should try other than Lagers and Pilsner's at this time of year? I am quite partial to pale ales and amber ales. If I could be doing these i would be very happy. I have only ever done 2 beer brews and this forum is my only source of information, and it hasn't...

The fridge does work, but Im not gonna turn it on for a few months I have 3 fridges running atm , and this one is just taking space. eventually I would like a temp controlled fridge but for now all I want is something that is better than the icy cold garage.

will i have better temp control while fermenting in a fridge that isn't plugged in? I'm in Brissy, the temps are getting quite low, and about to start a lager and a pilsner, (will also be starting a ginger beer and cider soon,) will this be better than simply leaving it in a fridge on a stand...

I'm yet to purchase what I need for a pilsner, but the lager is a 'Morgan Blue Mountain Lager' tin.. Is the yeast in this OK to use or would you recommend i try another yeast?

OK. I'll go for the pilsner, will i need a heating mat or anything? or will Brisbane's temp atm be OK?

So, this will be my first home brews. i have 3 fermenter's in one I'll have a lager, another will have a cider. What should I do with the third? I was only told to do lager at this time of year, however if there is something else i could have a go at I would surely like to try it out. Pretty...

Thanks mate.. Done.

I'm making a basic ginger beer as I am writing this and im wondering if I should add yeast nutrients to my 5l batch of ginger beer. I am using ale yeast. and i am only making a 5L batch in a demijohn alongside a mead and a cider... Also my first time brewing anything. Cheers guys.
